However, I've noticed that even after a small hurricane, not everything gets rebuilt. Normal drops to a slightly lower level. <br /><br />Having to haul water might be the new normal. At that point having rugged water containers would be good to have. <br /><br />Of course, having a good fresh water source on one's property can't be beat.

I bought some woodworking tools recently, and pretty much ignored reviews from cabinet makers, because I'm not doing anything that fine.<br /><br />This does also point out a problem I have with the "prepper" mentality. What are they going to do when they run out of stored water? You'll want something that will be easier to transport water in. So many preppers are preparing for an emergency and a return to normal, which is far better than nothing, but whether collapse is fast or slow, it makes more sense to be preparing now for a lifestyle that consumes less resources.

They each have two handles, are robust, stack well, are easy to lift and carry and it's much easier to fill many small containers and store them than to have one large water tank. I have no main tank that can leak and spill all my water, it's easier to keep clean water and I can always tell how much water I have. You may call them 'water bricks', I call them wonderful and wouldn't use any other method in a house on wheels or on the water...
